    You're not actually, a lot of fanboys on neogaf love K2 controls. Which is something i cannot understand! lol

    And yeah, the cover 'n lean system on k2 is baaaad.

    The system was designed to feel like that - the idea being that you would feel more grounded in the combat, rather than feeling like a floating pair of arms and a gun ala many other FPS games.

  • The scary case of Infinity Ward

    I was just about to post that helder

    Yeah taylor, that's totally still relevant and I was personally offended that the game cost me 30 euros at launch, as opposed to the 60 euros each MW has cost, with MW1 still being 54.99. God damn valve for wanting to make games.

    well i didn't get immersed in it, or at least not in the degree i have been in games in the past. i think the problem lies in that not every game is immersible for everyone.

    it was no doubt a good show of art, but at the same time i could see the gameplay get tedious over time. i think the best games are those that manage to blend exploration, atmosphere, fighting and puzzles in equal amounts.

    SENTURA DISLIKES ANOTHER GAME. SHOCKING NEWS STAY TUNED FOR MORE AFTER THE BREAK!

    i know he is actually satan put on the earth to lower the standards, but how much of all this is his fault? There hasn't really been much explanation about it all, other than some lawsuits with pretty petty "he said/she said" bullshit.

    How much involvement and responsibility do the two ex-IW leads have in the closure of IW. They set up Respawn in record time if you take their word that they had no plans to leave Activision.

    So sure, Kotick is an incredibly evil little devil-child who has already permeated Blizzard with his poison spores (lol$25mount), but how much responsibility does he really have in all this?

  • Skate 3

    Quote from st0lve

    It's too much of the same IMO. Hardcore is ok, but flips are still too easy, and grinding is too bugged (in the demo at least, tons of videos on youtube that show it). I'd rather see a more realistic system which required you to catch flips and such instead of underflips and darkslides.. I have my fears that they get sucked too much into the arcade direction which will fail them (TONY HAWK AM I RITE?).I'll get it, because I play Skate and Skate 2 on a weekly basis, and I want a new city. But if I wasn't skating, I wouldn't spend $50 on a game that basicially is reusing 90% of the core mechanics as well as a lot of animations and art...

    Agree 100% with this sentiment. Do you guys remember Thrasher: Skate and Destroy? They had a hard mode that required you to press a button after doing a flip trick in order to land it - and man that improved the game a thousand-fold. Just little things to make it more challenging and realistic.

    I HATE that I can see people do 180's over everything and do massive flips into grinds and then flip out into tricks that just couldn't be linked together, hardflips into noseblunts and then 360flips out and shit, I mean come on, I know SOMEONE has done it ONCE but then it should also be hard as fuck for US to do it.

    Also, where's my impossible-flip? Why have we gone 5 years without a fucking impossible?

  • Lara Croft and the guardian of light.

    HP man, all the TR's have been cash cows, the guys who made it originally got lucky when they decided to use a chick with big tits. That's why it became popular and no other reason - the graphics and gameplay were nothing majorly special - and there was plenty wrong with the actual design that you overlooked because of 4-triangle tits.

    Then the MD's coked up their money, bought cars and made the grunts do continuous overtime to piss out more games to keep the money coming in. Eidos got so fed up with Core Design that they closed the studio down, sold it off and gave the license to some guys in America who had only made low quality FPS games (no offense to any CD staffers here).

    And then CD actually made a decent TR game, albeit a little rough around the edges. One rough spot was the fact it crashed at one point in the game EVERY TIME for me, and rendered the experience in-completable.

    All that said, I did quite enjoy TR2, and even TR3 had it's moments.

    Pity we don't have more games like that these days, we seem to have slipped into a "if it ain't FPS it ain't getting money" mindset. And that sucks.

    ANYWAY, this game is co-op, so I'll definitely be getting it just to play through with a friend.

    Quote from Seldoon182

    Interesting feature but I hope that lots of details will be fixed (animations, hostages models and such...)

    i have no problem with killing dogs - why you guys so butthurt?

    my problem is the horrible lag, the strange animation glitching, the fact it looks like modern warfare on Source (the irony) and the general chaos of it. still the koreans will probably lap it up.

    an old friend of mine is actually working on it, and apparently they are doing some god awful hours

  • Call of Duty 7: Black Ops

    Anyone complaining about Call Of Duty games for their singleplayer experience is the reason 90% of games are shit.

    They did something different and they did it damn well. When you see a game using their tech and their formula you know it instinctively.

    Complaining about it seems like complaining about a nice slice of cake.

    What other games offer that kind of hollywood movie-esque gameplay? There was nothing wrong with MW, nothing wrong with MW2, and nothing wrong with WaW. You guys seem to be looking for stuff to hate because of various reasons known only to your subconscious and your priest.

    tl;dr

    quit hating stuff that's actually good or we will forever be playing shitty games

  • WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

    Quote from Psy

    This is my entry for TF2Maps CTF contest. I spent 15 hours on Friday (10am till 1am) basically crunching down to get everything done like the particles, 3D skybox, misc details and brushwork. Though I'm not completely happy with the result and I wasn't able to get everything done due to how silly Source is, I'm glad I got it out for the deadline and it was an interesting experience to work for such a long period of time under pressure. Twas a good motivator!

    Fantastic work for 15 hours - another 15 hours and you would be at the same standard as some of the offical maps!

    I wonder what Valve do all day :x
